LONDONDERRY TWP, PA — Drivers in Londonderry Township, Chester County, should brace for backups and delays next week, as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has slated pipe replacement work on Route 796 (Jennersville Road).
The road will be closed between Daleville Road and Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) on Tuesday, April 30, and Wednesday, May 1, from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. To circumvent the closure, motorists are advised to follow a detour via Daleville Road, Frenwood Road, and Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike). While local access will be maintained throughout the duration of the work, those traveling in the vicinity should plan for additional travel time due to expected traffic congestion.
This infrastructure improvement is weather dependent, suggesting that schedules could shift based on meteorological conditions. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution and patience while navigating near the work zone, emphasizing the importance of this maintenance activity for the long-term safety and efficiency of the roadway.
With strategic detours in place and local access preserved, the impact on daily commutes is mitigated, yet disruptions during these two days are inevitable as PennDOT undertakes crucial updates to the road’s infrastructure.
